Rex's thread spurred me to start a thread in a similar vein.

Is it just me or is the serial/oxford comma used less and less these days? Does it depend on the type of writing being done? Seeing it left off is becoming quite the pet peeve of mine. :mmph: Excluding it doesn't always change the meaning of the sentence or make it ambiguous, but I still think it should always be used.
:sibbie: Use the Oxford comma!
